yea there should be a little hook also that is built onto the sub frame,, all you do is run one of the cables thru the D ring on your helmet strap,, then hook the loop onto that hook on the subframe,, and slap the seat on and go!
you can either leave one loop of the cable where it is,,under one of the BIG allen bolts and then hook onto the hook ,, or run both loops to the hook all depends on your helmet design as to how tight or snug it will fit... go McGuyver on it!
No dumb questions just dumb answers sometimes,, thats what this place is for,, alot of knowledge on these boards..

use a helmet net. only cost about $5.00
don't risk your paint! JMO
I didn't like that arrangement on my 12 at all.

are these cables also on the '04? previous owner might have removed them when he did the undertail.

Thanks Twista!!! cables work just fine. However have to put some type of rubber over my pass. foot pegs so it won't scratch my helmet
